According to Dr. Safer, “I was first exposed to medicine when I was in high school and my dad underwent heart surgery. This was a pivotal point as I realized I enjoyed the field of medicine and the ability to care for others.” For over 20 years, Dr. Safer has had a very rewarding career in Orange County and enjoys treating a variety of patients, practicing a wide breadth of medicine, and creating relationships with her patients.

Dr. Safer attended UCLA medical school and completed the Harvard combined internal medicine and pediatrics residency program.
